Why Weapon Packs are important?

A little more than 3 years ago, I ranted about accessories in action figures. We got the Keldor swords and corrected an issue with him. We can say the same thing about Randor, Draego-Man, Strobo and Faker too!
Color choices can be a bit iffy on Weapon packs:
Pink Fuchsia Zodac stuff, Green Clawful Mace, Green He-Man stuff come to mind. But other than that, they are a way to "fix" some issues with some characters. Sometimes they allow to give an Oomph! to a bland character. That Silver Shield for SLL looks a lot better than the crappy blue shield.
The WP#1 Gun and sword allowed my SMAA to be "complete" and different enough from Normal MAA.

I understand Mattel's decision on halting the production of Weapon Packs (at least until 2015 ends) in order to focus on the figures that we are missing. It's a shame that we're missing on Weapon Packs since there's a whole world of weapons that could use an alternate color scheme.
Seriously, there is a LOT of stuff we could have gotten:

-Techno Sword in Orange for Faker.
-Power Sword in one Tone Silver for BA He-Man or Adam if the Filmation PS isn't your thing.
-Flogg's Secret Accessory in one tone Silver for Adam or He-Man
-Galactic Protector He-Man weapons in Vintage He-Man Colors (grey and silver)
-True Vintage Styled He-Weapons (One tone gray on ax and Sword and the shield with orange inserts)
-He-Man colors Vykron Barbarian Harness (One could use it to make a kitbashed Ice Armor He-Man)
-Glittery Blue Filmation Sword... for He-Ro.

That's just the tip of the Iceberg. I'm keeping it on the repainted stuff.
-Silver Bubble sword of protection
-200X Colors Havoc staff
-Magenta Skeletor Armor for Faker
-Vikor Sword and Ax in Palace Guard colors (Gray and gold accents)
-Extendar Lance in Clear Red for SLL
-Castle GrayskullMan Sword in He-Man and Skeletor Colors for King Grayskull
-Dekker's mace in SMAA Colors
-Golden Guns to enhance the Granamyr display also, Golden guns are cool...
-Castle Grayskullman swords in Standor Colors... The man needs weapons and the swords are awesome
-Snakemen Army weapons repainted for arming the Snakemen
-Castaspella's blast in any other translucent color for Shadow Weaver, Glimmer, or BG Evil Lyn
-Orko's book in other colors for Batros
-Blade's swords in opposite colors. Flat gray for the movie sword, red and blue accents for the toy sword.
-Optikk weapons in Randor Colors. (Gun may look weird, but the shield is PERFECT for Randor)
-Repainted Draego unflamed Sword... could work for Nepthu...
The possibilities with the repaints are a lot if they choose sensible colors and not EVERYTHING IN NEON GREEN!! Weapon packs help you enhance displays of battlefields and give you items for the characters and or you can have stuff for custom figures

If I went with new Items I'd choose the stuff from the Eternia Playset, Spector's whip, Adam's 200X Accessories, Zodak's 200X gun, the fully opened Techno sword from snake armor he-man toy (without the ridiculous gigantic size from the 200X toy), a fishing rod for Ram Man, Diamond Ray of Disappearance... Here the possibilities are almost endless.
